In fact, I see beginnings and endings as relative to the individualized consciousness of finite beings, only. Reality is eternal. But for each individual, the first necessary distinction is the distinction of self from other. In TDVP, distinctions of content are finite distinctions in the substance of reality, like mass, energy and consciousness.Edward R.

I also found your online article on the calculus of distinctions interesting, but that was some time ago when I read that. I have not yet seen your latest “Reality Begins with Consciousness” with Dr. Neppe. However, allow me to pursue further how your thoughts on distinctions might relate to the alien beings I mentioned earlier.<br /><br />The beings, who refer to themselves as the Zeta race, have a cosmology which we have documented in several books and articles. According to my understanding of their cosmology, infinite distinctions are intrinsic to consciousness. There is a dimension of “states of consciousness” or “vibrational states”, and this dimension is a property of primary consciousness. Consciousness is infinite or eternal, so no one can say if there was an initial dichotomy of self versus other. There were/are always infinite distinctions with respect to vibrational states.<br /><br />As well as this dimension of vibrational states, primary consciousness divided itself into many facets that are independent of each other so that it could learn about itself “in separation”. These facets include souls or spirits and the many realms in which they exist. So this is another type of distinction that exists in consciousness.<br /><br />In the Zeta cosmology, a being at a particular vibrational state cannot normally be aware of other beings at higher vibrational states. This is a property of consciousness. We can say that a being behaves like a low-pass filter with respect to vibrational states.<br /><br />Humans are separated from the Zetas by a difference in vibrational state. This difference interferes with our communication with them. We are not tuned to the same channel. When the human collective manages to raise its vibrational state to their level, we will have images and concepts in common so we can communicate (as you say). <br /><br />You suggested that a rational number scale is necessary so that two races can mutually calibrate in order to safely interact with one another. This would be necessary only if the races were operating at different states of consciousness. But since interaction between very different vibrational states is normally not possible, such mutual calibration with rational numbers is not needed. Races who share the same vibrational state should experience the same kind of environment energy-wise, and so would not require calibration either. So consciousness should get by safely without rational numbers. That is, the ordinal scale should be all that is required.<br /><br />Your last comment about uncalibrated contact between interacting entities possibly harming one or both is interesting though. There has been occasional physical contact engineered between Zetas and humans, and a human sometimes becomes ill. We were told that this was because of the difference in vibrational states or energies of the Zeta and human etheric bodies. I don’t see how rational numbers could have helped though. A simple “much greater” ordinal measurement should have sufficed to keep them apart.<br /><br />You mentioned four types of distinctions, and if I understand them correctly, it is only the distinction of content (algebraic) that is not part of the Zeta cosmology. I think I would agree that, according to that race as an example, consciousness requires only three types of distinctions - extent, intent, and impact. I would restrict impact to ordinal comparisons, given my argument above that rational numbers are not necessary under the indicated conditions. <br /><br />I may be wrong but I assume that content (algebraic) implies abstract arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction, multiplication and division? Distinctions of extent, intent, and impact I could imagine are ones my cat could make, and I believe my cat has consciousness. But distinctions of content (algebraic) may be a learned, culturally sensitive human construct if I understand it correctly.<br />Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743767745699673032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896819740098465917.post-42503686765195634002016-05-25T13:56:07.559-07:002016-05-25T13:56:07.559-07:00Thank you for your comments William. I really appr...Thank you for your comments William. I really appreciate the opportunity to communicate more clearly.<br />The reality of consciousness is the awareness of the distinction of self from other. All distinctions of whatever kind, are forever related to, and derived from, that primary distinction of self from other. Communication between conscious beings is certainly possible using only an ordinal scale. But that communication is limited to images and concepts common to both communicating entities. The success or failure of the communication is directly related to the degree to which the concepts and images in the consciousness of the communicating entities are identical, similar or dissimilar. All concepts and images in the consciousness of sentient beings are composed of distinctions. These distinctions may be distinctions of extent (geometric), content (algebraic), intent (with conscious meaning), or impact (quantitative).<br />Reality is not random or meaningless. All of the concepts and images perceived by conscious entities are built up of a variety of distinctions, and those distinctions, whether received as cardinal, ordinal, fractional, fractal, geometric, algebraic, holographic, or of any other kind, are meaningless unless related to each other and to the distinctions in the consciousness of the entities involved by the universal logic of existential distinctions. I call that logic the Calculus of Distinctions. The direct telepathic sharing of images may not require quantification unless the communicating entities actually interact in the 3S-1t, space-time domain. In that case, quantification becomes necessary because interaction without knowing the relative scale of mass/energy exchange could be dangerous and/or disastrous. For example, if the relative mass/energy scales of the interacting entities are vastly different, not knowing the quantitative difference in scale could result in one entity crushing or blowing away the other without meaning to do so. <br />Edward R.

So, for example, they would say that a state of consciousness is greater than, equal to, or less than another state of consciousness. Perhaps this is what you mean by universal logic.<br /><br />In order to communicate, the being controls a person, the medium, and it uses the medium’s linguistic knowledge. There was some confusion for a while because they equated state of consciousness with frequency. Frequency is a rational number, and so they finally acknowledged that they used frequency as an analogy for state of consciousness. They do not have rational units of measurement, so they do not have something that corresponds to Hz. <br /><br />These beings do not compute with numbers but that does not mean that they do not use a form of logic. For example, the intuitive pressures they feel only make sense if the pressures are differentiated on at least an ordinal scale. <br /><br />You refer to geometry, algebra and number theory as important for understanding the logic of reality. Maybe all that is really required is the ability to differentiate on an ordinal scale. Is the use of numbers only a requirement for the human race which does not have direct telepathic perceptions? If they did, they might also not need numeric representations as a form of memory.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743767745699673032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896819740098465917.post-35563498351557941212016-05-25T08:09:02.386-07:002016-05-25T08:09:02.386-07:00Thank you William for the comment!

Conscious beings, whether in physical bodies or more subtle non-physical bodies, have to make distinctions in order to function in the dimensional domain that we perceive through our physical senses. The calculus of Distinctions is the formalization of the logic that relates distinctions of any kind. Intuitive awareness does not have to be quantized in order to function, but must obey universal logic, otherwise it would be chaotic and random.Edward R.

However, I think perspective matters, and mathematics may be important for beings like us who have a very limited understanding of consciousness. I have had the privilege of talking to beings who can exist in physical and non-physical form. In either form, they retain full awareness. The craft of some of these beings are seen by people now and then. The beings don't use a number system and so had to learn that from us in order to communicate. I asked how they navigated in their craft, and was told they use a telepathic ability to communicate with each other. They feel an intuitive pressure that tells them how close they are to an objective in space and time. You seemed to imply that math is a universal language, so I felt compelled to say that it may be more of a cultural phenomenon that makes up for our shortcomings in other ways.

Earlier, it is also stated: ‘We can choose to go beyond the limitations of mechanical animal existence with the development of human consciousness and achieve the real purpose of all existence, or we can become just another failed species. The choice is ours.’ Well, fellow travellers, it must be obvious, from the previous posts on this site and what’s proclaimed in my quartet ‘On the Square plus One’, as to what my choice has long since been – I, therefore, welcome anyone to join me on what hopefully will be this ‘wonderland odyssey’, and may the Ultimate Force be with us all!
